The warning by President Putin couldn’t be starker: “Within the occasion of the usage of long-range weapons, the Russian Armed Forces will once more need to make choices about increasing the sanitary zone additional (…) Do they need international battle? It appeared they wished to barter [with us], however we don’t see a lot need to do that.”
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov then got here up with the suitable metaphor to designate NATO’s ramped-up army outbursts: not solely NATO is elevating the diploma of escalation however delving right into a warlike “ecstasy”.
It doesn’t get extra severe than that. “They”, as Putin alluded to, do appear to need “international battle”. That’s on the coronary heart of NATO’s new suicidal “ecstasy” technique.
For all their circumlocutions, NATO Secretary Jens Stoltenberg, French President Emmanuel Macron, and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz have successfully greenlighted Kiev utilizing Western weapons for assaults deep contained in the Russian Federation. The alleged debate, nonetheless ongoing, is only a “smokescreen” for the true goal: a pretext that might result in WWIII.

There’s no cause to suppose Kiev will keep on with “restricted” strikes in opposition to comparatively unimportant targets. As a substitute, it’s more likely to goal vital safety infrastructure in hopes of frightening an unrelenting Russian response, which in flip would pave the way in which for NATO to invoke Article 5 and de facto interact in a Scorching Warfare.
Already on the Fringe of Doom
The escalation “ecstasy” outlined by Peskov went uncontrolled since a – secret – new batch of ATACMS was dispatched to Kiev earlier this 12 months, complemented with longer-range ATACMS. Kiev has been utilizing them for severe hits on Russian air bases and key air protection nodes. These ATACMS hearth missiles at Mach 3 velocity: a severe problem even for one of the best Russian air protection programs.
All that appears to level to an important resolution enveloped in a number of layers of fog: because the incoming, cosmic NATO humiliation within the black soil of Novorossiya turns into self-evident day after day, the Western elites who actually run the present are betting on frightening a full Scorching Warfare in opposition to Russia.
Richard H. Black, a former US senator from Virginia, gives a sobering evaluation:
“This can be a continuation of the sample by which the NATO forces acknowledge they’re dropping the warfare in Ukraine, with the delicate strains of protection breaking, and the NATO response is to escalate. This isn’t unintentional, however very deliberate. It’s not the primary assault on the Russian nuclear triad. The ideological people are seeing their world crumbling, after flying the rainbow flag over conservative international locations and [waging] perpetual wars. They’re frantic and will escalate to nuclear warfare to get out of the bind. They’re taking a sequence of child steps, and reply that ‘they don’t do something in response,’ and they also preserve taking child steps till one among them lands on a land mine and we’re into World Warfare III. (…) Putin could be very conscious of the disconnect within the West, who preserve saying he’s simply saber rattling, however he’s not—he’s informing the West of the damaging actuality.”
In Russia, Senator Dmitry Rogozin, a former head of Roscosmos, straight warned Washington: “We aren’t simply on the edge, however already on the sting, past which, if the enemy just isn’t stopped in such actions, an irreversible collapse of the strategic safety of the nuclear powers will start.”
Basic Evgeny Buzhinky superior an ominous situation: “I’m positive that if the strikes of Taurus of ATACMS are very dangerous for Russia, then I presume we are going to a minimum of strike the logistical hub within the territory of Poland in Rzeszów” the place the missiles are staged for supply to Ukraine.
The connection on this case can be irreversible: Russia hits Poland; NATO invokes Article 5; WW3.
Be Cautious What You Want For
NATO warlike “ecstasy” is predictably cloaked in cowardice. For all of the rhetorical rubbish 24/7 about “we don’t need a warfare with Russia”, the info level to NATO utilizing Kiev to assault and attempt to destroy a variety of Russian army belongings. There’s additionally no denying the US Deep State’s function in enabling Kiev’s terror assaults in opposition to Russian civilians within the Donbass, Belgorod, and elsewhere.
Contemplating the intense debate lastly on throughout a number of Russian platforms, all of that may represent an affordable pretext for a tactical nuclear drop on the – legally illegitimate – Kiev gang. Not less than that will end a warfare that’s dragging for too lengthy.

But that will be completely out of character in the case of legalistic Putin – who offers with Armageddon-laden points with the endurance of a Taoist monk. But Russia has a whole arsenal of uneven instruments – each typical and nuclear — that may ship a painful blow to NATO in locations the place the alliance least expects.
We’re not there but – whilst we get ominously nearer day after day. Dmitri Medvedev has issued the umpteenth crimson line: a US strike on Russian targets, or the US letting Kiev hit targets inside Russia utilizing American missiles and drones can be the ‘begin of World Warfare’.
And Overseas Minister Lavrov, as soon as once more displaying his trademark Taoist endurance, needed to give you one other severe reminder: Russia will regard the deployment of nuclear-capable F-16s in Ukraine – which de facto can solely be operated by NATO pilots – as “a deliberate sign from NATO within the nuclear discipline to Russia”.
And nonetheless the gaggle of armchair Dr. Strangeloves – lavishly rewarded by the rarified Atlanticist plutocracy holding actual energy, funds, affect and mass media management – just isn’t listening.
